Cats may grind their teeth due to tooth or gum problems or due to stress.

Feline teeth grinding is also a common sign of dehydration or acidity. This is an early indicator of renal failure. Check the cats gums. If they have become sticky instead of slick, your cat is dehydrated. Some advancing symptoms would be sunken eyes, cracked paws, and vomiting. By the time the more advanced symptoms begin appearing, the amount of damage to the kidneys is severely increased.

If you observe teeth grinding in your cat, you should take it to the vet to have them take a look at what the problem might be. By heading it off early, you could be saving your cat from a lot of discomfort, and maybe even its life.
